There's so much memeing in Watch Dogs 2. Like it's not even subtle about it. Within minutes, you see 'why you do this' guy and 'lulz' and advice dog

I think there's a version of the why you do this guy on the load screen

 

[Data West]

2016 is kind of nuts. There's still so much shit for me to play that I haven't even touched yet.

I hit every key on my keyboard and I can't figure out how to skip the cutscenes. At least the Diablo 2 reference is neat.

I think the autistic guy is the only character I kind of like so far. But it's not like 'ugh get them off my screen' when they talk it's more just like 'yep these are these kinds of people.'

 

[Hindl]

Disagree with Paul and Dan. I actually had real Nashville Hot Chicken for the first time in Nashville, and I'm not a huge pickle guy. But pickles on that really made the whole thing amazing

 

[TraBuch]

Any guesses on whether they got The Last Guardian in time to review prior to GotY? My money is on a hard "no" and will instead get coverage early in 2017 instead.

No one there is gonna like the game anyways.

 

[Johndoey]

Real talk though, the Nashville is straight garbage tier, it's ten day old hot sauce on cardboard era shit.

I'd imagine they got that press kit that other outlets were showing off, no? Doesn't matter anyway since I don't think the crew would care about it too much

Spoiler

since it's going to be bad 😉

 

[CheDominik]

I think I hate Oxenfree, I want all characters to just shut up for a minute, but no, they keep talking. Damn teens.

I highly doubt it will review well with others reviewers too.

 

[mnz]

I really hope the game is not a disappointment, but I'm not sure after all the footage I've seen..

Doesn't mean they shouldn't cover it. It makes news being either good or bad just because it's one of two games to come out within a month that were announced for release on previous gen systems in the previous decade.

I guess I missed news of press kits since it kind of feels like no one is talking about the game at all.

Spoiler

I'm kind of feeling it'll be bad too, but I hold out hope it won't

Embargo isn't up till next week so that's probably the reason no one is talking

There were some pics of the press kit in this thread, it looks neat

That's why it's so good. They're all kind of annoying dicks so they seem like real teens.

 

[TraBuch]

I don't think it'll be bad. I think those hardcore Ico and SOTC fans will love it since it looks like another one of those games and that's who the game is directed at.

Yeah, but I still expect an explosion after a bunch of "I am a normal human being and this isn't that great" reviews hit.

 

[EdReedFan20]

So will every microphone port be used today for the first time? I think there are 7 total (8, if you count Drew/Jason at the helm). I don't think there's literally any room for Rorie (if Drew or Jason is at the table).

It's been so long, most of those are probably dead anyways

It bothered me that I frequently had to wait by the entrance to a new area and its loading screen because the teens still weren't done talking.

I was updating my Top 10 list on the GB site and came across my 2009 list and... jesus christ

1. Assassin's Creed 2
2. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
3. Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box
4. Batman Arkham Asylum
5. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
6. Resident Evil 5
7. Borderlands
8. Dragon Age: Origins
9. Rachet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
10. League of Legends

Almost all of those games are either seminal or the best in their series or both. Jeff was right. The old games are the best games.

 

[Human Trashcan]

5. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
6. Resident Evil 5

seminal or the best in their series or both

bruh

 

[mnz]

Well, I like Batman and DA:O from that list. There have been better years!

 

[brainzelda]

bruh

*Almost* all of them. And as for RE5, a case could be made...

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Yeah Team Ico fans will like it (like me) while 99% of the world will go "eh".

I'm more interested in how it compares to those 2 games

Alan Wake above Mass Effect 2?

Nah.

Alan Wake is the best game of all time to me. How is dgaf doing without me?

Alan Wake has like two gameplay mechanics that you experience withing the first 45 minutes or so.

So just like 80% of all games.

Not every shooter can be Titanfall 2.

No, other games change up enemies or levels.

 

[tomhan]

Have they said anything about when a FFXV quicklook will go up? Trying to decide between playing Witcher 3 and FFXV next and I want to watch the FFXV quicklook first.

Why wouldn't we?

Are we going to fight? lol. I am aware of it's flaws, but it's still my favourite game of all time.
I am known for that... I have played that game many many times.

Brad said they need to get into more of the game before they do one.

You are not wrong, but that's still double the mechanics that Gears has and everybody loves that franchise

Pretty much just before the outro.
